Included in the batches released are some 50 young birds raised by club members from breeding stock purchased earlier in the summer. Pens were built at the home of Herb Schneider and the eggs hatched commer cially. The balance of the birds released were purchased from commercial pheasant breeders. Somp more birds are yet to be released, bringing the total up around 300 new birds. Those released so far have averaged about half and half hens and cocks. Included also were some white and some black pheasants, as well as the more common ring-backs.'New breeding stock was selected from , the young birds. These cocks and bens will be kept over by the club and used for breeding purposes next year.

Plenty of pheasant hunting for members and friends of the Beaver Creek Sportsmen's club of South Amherst is assured with the release this week and last of over 220 pheasants on grounds leased by the club. ' In addition to providing sport for the members on their leased grounds, many of the pheasants vill . roam' over into fields not under lease, thus providing an increase in the general pheasant population, members say. Included in the batches released are some 50 young birds raised by club members from breeding stock purchased earlier in the summer. Pens were built at the home of Herb Schneider and the eggs hatched commer cially. The balance of the birds released were purchased from commercial pheasant breeders. Somp more birds are yet to be released, bringing the total up around 300 new birds. Those released so far have averaged about half and half hens and cocks. Included also were some white and some black pheasants, as well as the more common ring-backs.'New breeding stock was selected from , the young birds. These cocks and bens will be kept over by the club and used for breeding purposes next year.
